7 Dangerous Sex Positions You Shouldn’t Try

There are a ton of sex positions that you should try in your lifetime, of course, since they are fun and feel good. There’s doggy style, reverse cowgirl, ever the classic missionary style. These are all super popular sex positions that are used pretty frequently in the world of sex. They’re popular for a reason – they’re fun, easy, and they feel good. Unfortunately, there are also certain sex positions that people frequently try, even though they shouldn’t. No one likes to think about it, but sex can actually be quite dangerous, especially if you’re doing it in a particularly difficult position that can potentially seriously hurt you.

When I say “difficult position” I am not just talking about complicated angles that only seem to work in the movies. There is also risk of getting hurt in other forms, like hitting your head or even falling on your neck (it CAN happen). I know that trying a cool position seems like an awesome thing to do, and it is! But you really have to be prepared and safe. Before you try out something from the Cosmo Kama Sutra, be sure to check out this list of sex positions that are really dangerous and should only be tried with caution. Be careful!

Galloping Table

This one could be pretty bad for certain parts of your body. It's a common thing to want to have sex at the dinner table since it's an ~exciting~ place to get it on, but it's also pretty dangerous. You can hit your head or even fall and hurt your neck. Having sex on an elevated surface is pretty dangerous, so you want to be sure to be careful. Source

The Crab

This one can be fun, but if your bae weak arms, they can collapse, which would make you fall on top of your bae, and that can be messy. Not only that, but you can REALLY hurt your partner's penis if you happen to fall or hit it at the wrong angle. It's best to skip this one.

The Melody Maker

Again, this one isn't horrible, but any position that requires you to hang upside-down for a long period of time can give you a headrush, which can be really disorienting or even make you pass out. It's best to keep your head on a pillow of some sort.

Wheelbarrow

This is actually a popular position, but if your partner isn't really ready for it, they might not be able to support you, cause you to fall and hurt your neck. Even if your partner is a pro, it's not worth it! There is too much of a risk of falling and getting hurt.

Hanging Garden

Organ Grinder

This name sounds dangerous, right? It's an expert position that you might be able to do someday, but it will take a lot of practice. Penetration this deep can be really harmful if your partner is going too hard, and it's important that you go slow and talk it out! It can also hurt your legs after a while, so be sure to take breaks if you want to try it.

Stair Sex

Stair sex is "hot" but alos VERY dangerous, especially if you're at the top of the stairs! It's also a lose-lose situation: if the stairs are wooden it will hurt your back, but if they are carpeted, you might get rug burn. There's also the possibility that you will fall down the stairs. Just stick to the bed!
